The latest update is great however I feel you have somewhat shafted smaller corps when it comes to war dec'ing.
Two large alliances have come into the area and we have been sparring with them since they have arrived. A decision was made to war dec them and the cost has been quoted as 300m a week.
We estimate it would have cost us in the past circa 50m. Is it working as intended? I hope not. |

Talk to their CEOs/directors.
Maybe they'll oblige you by footing the cost for the war.
From their end it will be much cheaper.
We're funding the dec- sometimes Diplomacy will not work unless it's at Gunpoint

Ridiculous War is expensive yes - ships get lost/supply chains get broken/ammo gets shot (the list goes on) 10 man corps should be able to dec whoever they need - as should 1000 strong alliances
To put it in dumb: 300m a week wtf

Unless you are a market guru or love purchasing plex's, small man is dead.
Stand strong brother

Agreed .. The war should be the cost

We estimate it would have cost us in the past circa 50m. Is it working as intended? I hope not. You know you could avoid all this cost if you looked for targets outside of highsec. I know plenty of places you could go with you're small gang and get good fights. Try -A- renter space, where ever the Agony guys are, Delve, or better yet come see us we like fights. Of course you can't really play station games or have neutral logistics out there but I'm sure you weren't using any of those filthy highsec tactics, right? If nothing else these wardec changes will remove some of EVE detritus and that's a good thing. E: I should add none of this "we'll get your haulers in highsec" BS means anything because any semi-intelligent alliance knows to use NPC alts.
We live in low sec. Generally we do not bother with war dec's as we are not bothered about being -10. The reason we have dec'd the alliance in question is because they fight with little skill but in large numbers. Generally we are engaging 5vs50.
Note they also expect us to take gcc and will not engage unless they have more ECM boats then we have ships. |

If you're all -10 and in low sec then why are you whining about wardecs? Gate/station guns can't possibly be that much of a problem to warrant a wardec. It sounds like you need to recruit more people and escalate the situation if you want to deal with them or go fight someone else that you can handle. Instead of whining about wardec fees.
I have very quickly checked your killboard and noticed you are an amateur.
I will however entertain your troll by offering a response:
5 vs 50? Yes gate guns are an issue.
Tool. |

Fight 1
Fight 2
Fight 3
The battle reports are bugged - the above is about 6 different engagements. If you check our losses - generally the highest damage was from gate/station guns.
Mr Harari has already commented on the level of small gang pvp goonswarm are known for so i'll not comment further

We can afford the war - that is not the issue. The issue is the cost is excessive. |

The issue is the cost is excessive. Shockingly, among those thousands of members, a few of us solo. This is clearly shocking. In other news, engaging on stations and gates with guns will cost you ships. This is apparently news to a super pvp setup like Gunpoint. Good job guys. Does the fact that I've never lost a ship to gate guns or station guns at any point that I remember make me somehow better at lowsec pvp than your whole corp/alliance/hugbox? If so I'm very sorry.
What is it with you goons. Every post you have made in this thread has been pathetic. I have never engaged a goon flying solo. If you do solo then good for you. I am sure you will agree it is much more challenging and fun than following a fleet of a hundred + pilots clicking F1 when instructed to do so. I congratulate you on having never lost a ship to gate guns/station guns. I also have never lost a ship to these. Therefore in answer to your question of whether or not having never lost a ship to station guns makes you better than the whole of gunpoint - No it does not. |

Yes because telling you to stop whining about wardec fees instead of actively working to improve your situation via already available in-game mechanics is trolling. You are no different from the miners that whine for a change from CCP so they don't have to actually think about fitting their hulks and instead can just always fit for max yield. E: Even better your big "MY KILLBOARD" is over wanting to dec a newbie corp like eve-uni how ~elite~ pvp of you.
Your suggestion was to recruit more players. Not our thing.
We enjoy small gang/solo pvp. I'd ask that you find another thread to vomit all over as quite frankly the point still stands. The cost is excessive. |

I'm willing to bet you have never fought in a fleet battle with 1000 people on grid. I can tell this because you operate on some delusion that large fleet pvp is all "press F1 on the count of 3." I'm sure you could explain the intricacies of an interceptor, interdictor, one of several types of recons, combat probing in a cloud of 1000 ships, managing 30+ logistics with a logistics anchor, and all of the other features of "press F1" warfare and at which point the F1 key comes into play.

Therefore in answer to your question of whether or not having never lost a ship to station guns makes you better than the whole of gunpoint - No it does not. Alright, now you just have to apply your own brilliance for not dying to station and gate guns to figure out how to keep your corpmates from dying to those gate and station guns without needing to whine at CCP to save you. HTFU
1) Yes it is my opinion and seemingly everyone else's who has posted negative comments about GOONS. 2) You are incorrect. I spent 3 months in a large alliance - flying in fleets ranging from several hundred to over a thousand. I was very good at anchoring... i was often the first to find the anchor and click orbit. (I tended to only have the anchor in my watch list which made this task simple). I was also VERY good at pressing F1. I would select the primary I was given and then fired all of this whilst maintaining a near perfect orbit on my anchor. The reason I left ? Little or no skill was involved. I then moved on to smaller corps and started to PVP in a genuine manner. Small corps breed pvp pilots - large alliances breed sheep/robots w/e. Regardless, each to his own. 3) You are still missing the point entirely, but then I have already deduced you are a muppet and so I will try and explain once more. The gate guns are not an issue by itself. Fighting outnumbered whilst taking gcc is a problem. The war dec has mitigated this.
EDIT: This thread is about the cost of dec's and how they affect small corps. Please return to topic you goon. |

The gate guns are not an issue by itself. Fighting outnumbered whilst taking gcc is a problem. The war dec has mitigated this. Whatever "muppet" means it must be really offensive to somebody somewhere. I'll file that one away. On the other hand, do try to keep your stories straight. If you are complaining about needing a wardec to avoid dying to gateguns while shooting at eve uni newbies that's cool. (your laundry list of killmails complaining about damage from gate guns comes to mind). If it is now about GCC or whatever, then that's cool too, but do try to be honest about what it is you are whining about. It helps the rest of us keep up without having to predict your next wild move. My core point still hasn't changed. If you want to buy a lot of targets to shoot at you're going to have to have the money to pay for it. If you can't pay the price for the service then I would reconsider how important it is to you instead of whining about how unfair the game is to you. I mean, if you really want people to take you seriously as some sort of "real PVPer" then the least you can do is avoid whining on the forums about how unfair things are. If you really think you should be paying less to shoot at people, I would consider purchasing less rights to shoot at less people. I hear that if you purchase less of something you end up paying less for it.
TLDR
Stfu you goon prik |
